Discovered in Chinese New Year
It's finally the 1st of February, and the moon is full, which means that in a fortnight's time, on the 14th of February, millions of people will be out celebrating - not Valentine's Day, but Chinese New Year, the beginning of the Year of the Tiger. This will apparently be a year of adventure, a year of risks - incident, opportunities, change! I thought we might celebrate with them, because the lads would surely have known all about it - they both seem to have eastern interests of one kind or another, and of course they live in London - home to a vibrant Chinatown.
But what would they have been doing - how might they have got caught up in it all, in the excitement and fireworks and bangers and feasts and fortune cookies and lights and lanterns? Who do they know? Where have they been? What are they thinking? Our lads at Chinese New Year...
Chinese New Year celebrations actually continue for fifteen days, culminating in the Festival of Lanterns, so this Discovered in Chinese New Year will run until 28th February - midnight Pago-Pago time, as usual. Feel free to post any time from 14th February until the 28th, to join in the celebrations.
Please comment below to take part - you don't have to, of course, but it's nice to know who might play and what we might have to look forward to. Comment as well if you'd like a prompt to set you on your way and inspire you to creation - as usual stories, art, vids, poetry, thoughts, games, puzzles - any creation at all is welcome!
Don't forget to post fic with trailers rather than headers (format on the User info page), to wear your warm vests, cos it's still cold out there, and to take a handkerchief with you... and have fun!
Would anyone like to light a lantern with us...?
